Job Overview

A new opening is available for a Staff Engineer – AI-Native / AI Orchestrator. Work is remote, and the arrangement is listed as contract – c2c/w2. The salary mentioned in the listing is $55. Skills mentioned in the listing include PostgreSQL, REST APIs, Git and GitHub, Java, Artificial Intelligence and AI tools. For general context: REST APIs let the front end and back end of an application exchange data in a structured way. Git tracks code changes so teams can work on the same project without overwriting each other. Read the details below carefully and use the application link on this page if the role matches your profile.

What These Requirements Mean in Practice

★ PostgreSQL: A relational database where data lives in related tables; the work usually involves writing SQL and designing schemas.
★ REST APIs: Designing and consuming HTTP endpoints so a front end, mobile app or another service can exchange data.
★ Git and GitHub: Tracking changes, working on branches, opening pull requests and resolving conflicts so a team can share code safely.
★ Java: Object-oriented development on the JVM; Spring Boot is commonly used to build web services.
★ Artificial Intelligence: A general understanding of how AI systems learn from data, where they are useful, and where they can be unreliable.
★ AI tools: Using AI assistants to speed up everyday work while still reviewing the result yourself.

Skills to Brush Up Before Applying

★ PostgreSQL: joins, indexes, transactions and constraints
★ REST APIs: HTTP methods and status codes, authentication basics such as tokens, validation and error responses
★ Git and GitHub: branching and merging, pull requests and code review, resolving merge conflicts
★ Java: object-oriented principles, collections and streams, Spring Boot basics
★ Artificial Intelligence: supervised versus unsupervised learning, common real-world use cases, limitations and bias
★ AI tools: writing clear prompts, reviewing generated code, knowing when not to trust the output

Who May Be a Good Fit for This Role?

This role may be suitable for candidates who bring substantial experience and are comfortable owning technical decisions and supporting other team members. Those who are comfortable with PostgreSQL, REST APIs, Git and GitHub, Java, Artificial Intelligence and AI tools and enjoy building practical projects may find the requirements a good match. A remote arrangement may suit people who work well independently and communicate clearly in writing. This is editorial guidance only, and the employer makes the final decision on suitability.

★ Software architecture, secure coding, and performance optimization What Will You Do? Build and maintain production-grade Java applications Use AI coding tools to accelerate development Review, validate, and improve AI-generated code Develop REST APIs and optimize database structures Improve testing, debugging, and engineering workflows Guide a small engineering team and collaborate with technical leadership Who Should Apply?

We're Particularly Interested In

★ Senior Java Developers
★ Senior Java Full-Stack Developers
★ Staff Software Engineers
★ Lead Java Developers
★ Senior Software Engineers with practical AI coding experience If you have strong Java development experience and have used Claude or GitHub Copilot in your actual software development workflow, we'd love to hear from you!

Application Tips

Applicants may want to highlight relevant experience with PostgreSQL, REST APIs, Git and GitHub and Java in their CV. Because version control is mentioned, a GitHub profile with a few well-described repositories can make your skills easier to verify. If you have used AI tools or built small projects with language models, briefly describe what you built and how you checked the results. A short, role-specific summary at the top of your CV usually reads better than a generic profile. These are general tips, not requirements stated by the employer.
